It is with a very heavy heart that I learned of the passing of my friend and former colleague, Kirsty Duncan. Kirsty was a beacon of light and kindness on the Hill and in my life. We will miss her deeply.

With our vendors and sponsors, the CNE donated over 25,000 pounds of food to @secondharvest.bsky.social We are proud to support their work to end food insecurity and it is a partnership we are commited to keep growing.
